However, this goal is interrupted when from the very first night they begin to disappear one by one. First its the counselors who are mysteriously missing.

SOLACE
94 pages
Supernatural Horror/Thriller

Logline: At Serenity camp, a wilderness boot camp for difficult teens, the desperate spirit of an alleged suicide victim seeks out the help of a young girl to expose the truth about her death.

Synopsis: Bound, gagged and blindfolded, a group of teens is spirited away in the middle of the night and taken to Serenity Camp, a youth behavior modification facility, deep in the woods. They're locked away in dog kennels, beaten, starved and humiliated. Mail is censored and they're completely cut off from the rest of the world. Some who came before them have died; the product of discipline that got out of hand, or in some cases even suicide. Rumors travel through the camp. Just a few months earlier a girl reportedly hanged herself. But that's just a rumor. Only the dead girl and her murderer know the truth and the dead don't talk... unless they find someone who can hear them.

Logline: A night of partying becomes a battle for survival, when a killer targets a group of unsuspecting teens.

Synopsis: A group of teens gather to party, at a big old house, a bit off the beaten path. A light winter snow seems nothing to fear, but when the weather takes a turn for the worse, the kids are trapped. Electricity, phones, even cell phones become useless, so all they can do is wait it out. As the night moves on, one disappears, then another and another. It isn't long before it's discovered that they aren't just missing. Someone else is in the house. The whole town is in the same boat; hopelessly snowed in. With nowhere to run and no chance for rescue, it's a test of most basic human instinct, and survival is a matter of kill or be killed. _____________________________________________________

BLOOD TRAIL

LOGLINE: Evil may not simply be learned behavior; the product of childhood trauma or phychossis, but perhaps is a more tangible force with a life of its own, that takes over, controlling behavior, thoughts, and actions.

SYNOPSIS: A young artist is abducted, the target of murder by a serial killer. When the killer is taken down hard by detectives the victim thinks her nightmare is over. In fact it's far from it. She's relentlessly pursued by one crazed maniac, then another and another - a seemingly endless chain of sadistic and determined psychopaths. A police detective follows the killer's path, but each time he closes in, the evil force inhabiting the murderer moves on to yet another host body. Faced with the inconceivable, the cop and the victim set out to put a stop to this domino effect, before they lose their lives, or even their souls.

Logline: We don't use animals for testing anymore, but things can get pretty "hairy" for human subjects too.

Synopsis: Two fledgling scientists land a job at a cosmetics company lab. It takes a while to come up with something new and exciting, but when they do, they think they've hit pay dirt. The new product not only removes hair, but keeps it from EVER growing back... or so they think. Their human test subjects are thrilled with the results, until they make a startling discovery; the hair hasn't stopped growing at all. It's simply growing inside the body instead of out, and at a very accelerated rate.
